Which are your favourite hairstyles to match with nanchatte?

Summoning that Dutch anon from a previous thread who found seifukus in a thirft shop. Let us know if there are any seifuku/gakurans left.

>>8578611
I try to keep it more authentic, Nothing flashy but I always have some type of bang (side, down crown braid) and atleast one hair accessory. As long as the hair is maintained I don't feel a big need to style it like other fashions.

>>8579770
Would fake but real-looking bangs work? Like authentic hair and so. I had bangs but I let them grow and I'm not sure if I want to cut them again, but I love this fashion and I'd like to give it a try.

Are people okay if I post more pictures regarding the uniform designs for characters? if so would they also be okay with we including their responses in for my portfolio showing my design process?

>>8580609
Post the whole picture.

>>8580745
That not the one I want advice on, I hadn't drawn out the one I wanted advice on at that stage.

The one I wanted advice on was swiss roll/strawberryshortcake. As she is the shortest character (because I am unoriginal) I want her uniform to express that in some way to add interest and diversity to the way the characters wear their uniform. Basically I have so far
>the 'you'll grow into it'
>sleeves too long
>collar comically big
>skirt longer than shorter
>sitting on hips rather than waist.

>just a too large cardigan pretty much

>& finally just a normal fitting uniform
>sitting at natural waist
>medium length skirt.

I am also looking for suggestions beyond what I included in the designs for things people will think would work.

>>8580589
Yeah, definitely. Plenty of people wear stuff like that on a regular basis anyway, they tend to look real enough to most people. If you decide you don't like how they look, though, there's no problem with going bangless.

>>8580790
I like the second one best, the first one could work too but you'd have to be careful to communicate "this uniform is too big" rather than "she wears her uniform in a messy way".

>>8580870
Thanks for replying! Where should I look for fake bangs? Most on ebay and so on look very fake/shiny. Should I buy one with real hair so I can dye it properly?

I've got a long, dark grey skirt like this (a little bit shorter than this one, though) and I just don't know how to style it. Any ideas/insp?

>>8581464
A cropped sailor top would look cute I think

Sorry for newfaggotry, but what does the "nanchatte" mean? Google says it means "just kidding", so is it like "school uniform but it's not a real uniform so just kidding!"

>>8578611
Definitely simpler, low-volume styles.

>>8581801
That's exactly it. Just kidding uniform.

>>8578611
Bobs look really cute to me.
My hair doesn't grow well so I'm pleased that there is a style that looks good with my voluptuous pixie cut. I like wigs as much as the next person but they get HOT in the weather around here.

What do you guys think of other school related clothes being used for casual wear? Like the red track suits anime characters often wear, the gym outfits, or even cheerleader outfits? Can it be done tastefully?

>>8581464
Gonna second a sailor top, a v neck sweater/collared shirt combo would be pretty cute too.

>>8579770
Man that girl in the navy sweater's haircut is super cute, I wish I had thick enough hair to pull something like that off.

>>8581814
I see tracksuits that resemble anime all the time thanks to adidas. Idk about cheer leading uniforms though. Thats like costume/cosplay territory to me

I'm looking for a baggy pale blue or navy jumper. Or something that would work well with a seifuku with aqua colouring. Anyone any ideas?

>>8582474
What's the seifuku like? The collar and skirt are aqua? Can you post pics?
It sounds like beige would look better, depending on the color. I'd go for a beige loose cardigan or jumper.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Japanese-School-Jk-uniforms-cardigan-outerwear-sweater-100-cotton-knit-sailor-long-sleeved-coat-9-color/2029227181.html

What would you pair with a chocolate brown jumper? I'm torn between a black or a navy skirt. I think a black skirt would be more useful in my wardrobe but a navy one would be a better color combo?
Thoughts?

Is a blazer a must?

>>8582633

Black, just because it is more versatile. Brownxnavy doesn't look too good imo.

>>8582633
If you're talking solid colours, I'd go with dark red/wine (with a similarly coloured neck tie/ribbon), or a light brown or beige. Pink tartan seems to work well with chocolate brown. I also have a chocolate brown jumper and I have a navy skirt and they do not go well together imo. Excuse the poor quality pic.

>>8582643
I wouldn't say so. I think a cardigan over a white shirt with a bow works great.

>>8582671
>>8582749
Thanks! I was asking about those two colors because I'm planning on buying a set. Already have a grey plaid skirt coming my way, as well as a pink one. I'll probably end up buying the black skirt.

On another subject: What do you think are some nice acessories to pair with nanchatte? Such as bracelets, hair accessories and stuff.

>>8582941
Hair bows, scrunchies, pompoms, cute hairpins maybe?

What are good things to place on a bag? I have a duffle (?) bag like in some of these photos and it looks a little bland. So what are some nice things that'd look good on one - should I go with plushies or would something mature be better? Should I mix and mash?

And sorry but what are good search terms for cute things to attach to a bag? Searching bag charms gets me boring things like coach tags.

>>8583570
I'm a fan of those puffy lil fur ball keychains the have on ebay, or squishy donuts or small plush keychains. Maybe try "cute keychains"?

>live in southern hemisphere
>suddenly get interested in this style
>impulse buy a bunch of clothes that won't arrive until well into spring
>it's gonna be too hot to wear most of it

Damn it, I wish I bought all those cardigans at the start of winter instead.

What are recommendations for online stores that sell decent blazers? Thrift stores only ever have the huge ones.

>>8583570

They're all cutesy, tho. For a mature look I'd go without charms at all.

Again, very cutesy. If you're going for a mature look I'd try a high ponytail with a bow, or something like that.

Sorry about the long post. Can someone post hair inspo? I lost all my magazine scans.

>>8584016
Here's something.

>>8583697
Theres plenty of stores in the west with the v neck button up sweaters, you just have to look in the mens section.

>>8584016
Thanks for the tips, I have short hair now so I'm kind of limited in terms of hair acessories. I will probably get some cute hair scrunchies to wear on my wrist, I like how it looks.

Going to post some magazine scans with hairstyles that I believe would work for nanchatte.

>>8584607

>>8584614

>>8584616

>>8584607
Thank you so much for the scans! I have shoulder length hair so I can't do much with my neither. I'm planning on getting few scrunchies too! They're very very cute.

>>8584626
No problem, hope it helped!

By the way, I think this video is great for fashion inspo, since there are a lot of different uniform styles, colors and acessories etc. I might be biased because I love Pikarin though.
Anyway, I really like how the "punk" girl has her uniform styled!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvML3ZVUH_M

Here's my most recent haul from Cecile . Critique? What color blazer should I get with this?

>>8584681
Black would look good imo.

this TB store has a lot of neat stuff. I never bought from them but their ratings are pretty good and the prices are decent.

https://kyouko.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a1z0k.7386009.1997989141.d4915209.yMLsck&shop_id=106628430

For those of you that are worried about the fashion being to costume-y for daily wear, I made something veeery casual in too different styles. One preppy and one sporty, using the same skirt from Bodyline.
Concrit is more than welcome.

>>8586313
I love preppy styles and I want to post stuff like this on my Tumblr but the preppy tag is sooo not like this and I don't think it would fit in to that particular tag. Is there another tag I could use to specify Japanese/cute school uniformesque preppy wear (without seeming like I'm trying to create a substyle or something) or is nanchatte fine to use for these outfits?

>>8586485
Using the nanchatte tag should be fine.

>>8578110
what do I do about my fat ass?
The back of my skirt goes up a lot.

>>8586686
buy a long skirt and have it tailored in the front

>>8586786
Also getting high wasted skirts might help

>>8586686
wear shorts underneath?

>>8580609
>>8580745
cuuuuute

>>8586313
Saved for inspo. Very cute.

>>8586936
I do, it just looked uneven and silly.

I love the waistcoat jacket combo on this school uniform. And the varsity striped sweater. It's from a Japanese High School but it looks so prep.

Also, prep movies to watch? I'm not American but I want to find more inspo.

What do you wear when you're not wearing nanchatte?
Which is your favourite coord?

>>8586686
Tight spats? A lot of girls wear them under their school skirt.

French Toast is having a one-day sale if people are interested - 15% off plus free shipping if your total is $99 or more (after the 15% is taken off).

Does the skirt have to be plaid for nanchatte? I'm thinking the skirt & tie from lpik, pic related, with a plain blouse & grey oversized cardi.

>>8588686
Tbh, I own this is purple and I think it's pretty costumey, but maybe that's just me. I think it works better for fairy kei or something.

If anyone has any shorter hair inspo to share, I would be forever appreciative!

A kind anon from another thread put a bunch of taobao links here and I saved it, but my other laptop died on my recently. Does anyone have a taobao/aliexpress shop list?

Anyone know where I could get a cute navy blazer with gold buttons that isnt gonna completely bankrupt me?

>>8588686
Skirts don't have to be plaid, and the big seifuku brands put out solid color skirts regularly. You just have to look out for the material and avoid real thin fabric.

>>8588696
the material? I own it too and it's comparable to my actual uniform tbh.

I thought about buying a sweater vest, a jumper and a cardigan from the supplier of the Harry Potter costumes. They look really warm but would I look like a twat in nanchatte with that theme? Or would it be too cosplay?

>>8589556

Aren't they expensive af? The uniforms do look very cute though!

>>8589982
http://www.lochaven international. com/store_main.asp?int_category_id=7

Take the spaces out. Yeah they're pretty pricey but hopefully they're high quality. I'm not sure who buys them but I doubt they're wearing them cutely.

Anyone got the name of that site where you can buy old school uniforms in a set?

http://www.i-love- seihuku.com/?pid=89336590

Anyone tried Zero Care shirts?

>>8589556
I think the tie stands out as harry potter themed than anything else. I think it'll be ok . Maybe pair it with a blazer?

It's still way too hot where I live to wear a cute coord, I can't wait for Autumn! I just got these two skirts in the mail though.

Are you waiting on any orders? Have you recently got something for Nanchatte? Post pics!

I really want to get a buddy to wear nanchatte with, so we can go play at the arcade in our outfits.
>is a sad nerd

Where can you buy uniform shirts? Like, good quality plain white shirts. I've ran through all the clothing stores where I live (H&M, Primark, etc, etc) and there are NONE. Every shirt for women either isn't fully buttoned, has hidden buttons, is transparent or chiffon. It's like I'm going insane, how come I can't find such a simple thing? (I'm an Eurofag btw). My last shot is buying one at Muji since it's the only place I've seen that carries a simple white shirt.

If someone has good recommendations for a quality shirt please help, or share a listing for a nice one you've bought online.

>>8594156
As an eurofag I have the same problems trying to find big loose cardigans or school shoes that aren't real leather. Have you found any? ;_; I've found some shirts in thrift stores and zara.

>>8594167
For loose cardigans I'd say Primark. They're super cheap and you'd just have to size up. As for school shoes I've had no luck whatsover either... I'm probably ordering ones from a Spanish uniform website that ships to the Iberian Peninsula. They are real leather though...

I tried searching in Zara and the women's shirts they had were as I described, either had hidden buttons or didn't button all the way up... Grr.

>>8594156
Have you looked at uniqlo? I believe they ship European countries?

>>8594182
Oh I'm in Spain as well, would you mind posting the link? I'd be very interested. I tried primark and I bought a caramel v-neck sweater but I had no luck with cardigans, they were all very small or short, even in the largest size. ;_;

>>8594156
>>8594167
>>8594182
>>8594232
There are quite a few school uniform supplier shops here in England as school uniforms are the standard in all schools, some of which have online shops you might be able to purchase from. I am using items from my actual old school uniform for nanchatte. They might be kind of pricey though, I don't know. Another anon in the last thread linked to Asda school uniform section which was really inexpensive, but I noticed alot of items (most notably larger sizes) were out of stock which makes sense as everyone's starting the new school term.
I have also thrifted some shirts and I got a pair of loafers from eBay.
I wouldn't cheap out on the cardigans however, it's the one item I would go all out on, the wrong cardigan can really throw the look of nanchatte and make the whole thing wrong. I'd really suggest getting a proper Japanese nanchatte cardigan from either a Taobao seller, or Aliexpress or some Japanese supplier. I have two which I got from After School Club on Taobao, they have Japanese lables inside and trust me, they really do make a difference. I can post pics tomorrow when it's daylight if anyone's interested.

>>8594242
Pictures would be appreciated! I'll check out After School Club and Asda, thank you!

>>8594248
My bad, it's Uniform House After School on Taobao. If you put that into Google it should come with the actual site in the top results. Will post pics tomorrow.

>>8593448
You don't necessarily need big cardigans and blazers for a cute coord anon.

Any nanchatte coords with knee-length or just above knee-length skirts?

>>8594377
I haven't seen any, this photo is of an actual school's uniform worn by actual school students as opposed to nanchatte/fake school uniform but maybe it can give you some visual ideas.

>>8594506
Also this

>>8594186
Oh, thanks, they now ship to my country, they didn't use to! Although, for the price I might as well buy one at Muji, since it's equally as expensive, and I wouldn't have to wait for the post + could try it on.

>>8594232
It's pisamonas.es. If you do end up getting them please post pics, I'm still undecided.

>>8594242
Asda seems like the most economic option, even though the shipping destroys me (damn exchange rate...) Are the shirts good quality? They're not super transparent are they? Thank you!

>>8594890
Quoting Asda anon: I use this for blouses (for ref. I'm 5'3 idfk my weight, but the blouses for 13-14 year olds fit me perfectly, cardigans in the sizes for 12-14 year olds fit me great as well. Just wear skin coloured bras, otherwise it'll show through your blouse.)

I used to wear a vest or light T-shirt under my school shirt during autumn/winter anyway so that might be worth noting.

>>8594248
Here are my Uniform House After School cardigans. For reference, both are size L and I am 5'8 and a half. The material is really sturdy (I've tugged and stretched the hell out of them) and quite warm during colder months.

>>8595180
These outfits are so cute! How much did the shipping cost or how much do they weight?

>>8595190
Ah sorry, they were part of a Taobao haul I did with someone over a year ago so I have no idea. I would check the site for current prices however.

>>8594377
To be fair it will probably work with any preppy coord if you just keep the natural knee length, just not kogal/gyaru. Or look up actual uniforms.

>>8586313
Anon, where are the bag, shoes, and glasses on the left from? I love this.

>>8595451
Eeeh, it was just something I threw together on Polyvore meant as inspo to get similar items and not the exact same, so I used random items lol. The shoes can be found here, though:

http://www.shoeme.ca/products/bass-women-casell-burgundy-box-leather

>>8595579

Thank you!!

>>8588686
is that who I think it is?

>>8578110
i don't know if self-posting is encouraged here, but this is my first nanchatte coordinate that i've been working on for some time. i'm going to add a dusty pink cardigan to it as well for the fall.

>>8597343

There's quite a bit of dolly/lolita influences here, rather than the mod look of typical nanchatte. I think it's the frilly blouse and the granny shoes. Not saying it's good or bad, just pointing out that it kinda diverges from the looks posted in the thread.

>>8596806
Penis angelic? Yeah, she modeled for bodyline a couple years ago

What chance do I have of using these in a nanchatte coord? I had to buy shoes for work anyway, and I thought these were cute, but not sure if they'll work with nanchatte at all.

>>8597343
I think it's vey cute!
Like >>8597364 said there looks like theres other influences at play, but I like it. It's just adding a little bit of something your own while keeping it nanchatte

>>8597678
Oxfords work well with nanchatte, especially if you're going for a slightly more mature feel. I think those would look good in an autumn outfit.

>>8594506
why do people think that covering the eyes makes a person unrecognizable? You can still see most of their face, their hair, their body, etc.

>>8598330
The uniform covers there actual shapes and hair can be changed

What inspired you to start wearing nanchatte or kogal? Which are your favourite characters that wear this fashion?

>>8595447
So part of the overall nanchatte look is shortened skirts?
> polite sage for newfag question

>>8601905
Nanchatte is kind of an idealised version of a school uniform for alot of girls so short skirts are probably mostly worn because these girls deem them cuter (and make their legs look longer in some cases). As another anon pointed out shorter skirts are mostly prevalent in the kogal look, but are not necessary, a longer skirt doesn't make an outfit not nanchatte, it might push it more into standard school uniform territory depending on how you accessorize and what other items you wear with it.

Have normalfags ever brought up schoolgirls/school uniforms to you while wearing this style? I've been watching anime for so long that I honestly have no idea how easily recognizable it would be as a school uniform. I'm wearing it really toned down to work (plain black stockings, longer skirt), but I don't want people there to think I'm wearing a school uniform.

>>8604111
I had a redish plaid JSK styled dress that I wore with a chunky brown cardigan and knee highs, no one said anything.

>>8604111
People comment on how it looks like a school uniform all the time when I wear the traditional dress shirt, vest, and pleated skirt combo with long socks. When I dress more general preppy, like with a hoodie over the skirt, nobody says anything.

At what age would you say does it become impossible to pull off nanchatte without looking ridiculous?
I love the style but I'm 24 and about to get my first 'real' job so I'm worried about all the neckties, sailor collars etc. coming off as kind of silly. I look a bit younger than my age but we're talking a few years younger, not 'mistaken for a high schooler' younger.

>>8604251 odds are the only difference between the attire
for your possible job and nanchatte is a pleated skirt and a tie. Avoid pigtails and bright color skirts and you'll be fine

>>8601792
>What inspired you to start wearing nanchatte or kogal?
Everyone wants to be the little girl. I want to be the cute highschool girl I never was, and wear a uniform which I never did. That and I'm a weaboo.
I also am into horror and I like highschool girl characters, in movies like Battle Royale, Machine Girl, Suicide Club, Schoolgirl Apocalypse, Zombie Hunter Rika, etc

>Which are your favourite characters that wear this fashion?
I'm guessing you mean like anime/manga etc characters? I like most characters within the School Life anime genre I guess, the ones that wear uniforms inspired by actual "regulation" ones. Like the girls from Love Live!, K-On, Boku Wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai...

>>8606034
>I want to be the cute highschool girl I never was, and wear a uniform which I never did.
That's literally the same reason I'm into nanchatte.

>>8601792
I just wanted a nice formal fashion for work. I'm only just starting, but I just want 2-3 co-ords I can wear, allowing other days to either be slobby or try a different style. Also I am a massive fucking weeaboo.

I was considering starting a Tumblr for this if anyone would be interested.

>>8606147
Please do!

>>8594156
I got mine at Marks & Spencer they have a uniform section on their online shop

>>8606081
Feeling this.

>goddamnit I will be a cute school girl

>>8606165
Just posting some basic stuff for now. I'm going to tag up pictures from the threads with what item they are wearing to help y'all co-ord e.g. #green tartan skirt, #cream blouse, #sailor collar. I'll probably post some regular uniforms and anime uniforms for inspo. I also want to put together a page for basic rules of nanchatte (I was already working on one for a blog so it works out) and a shop page.
It's nanchatteforfun. Anyone think of any basic rules to mention? I've already mentioned galaxy seifukus and sexy uniforms being inappropriate.

>>8606147
Yes please!

>>8606363
Are you going to stick with the basic tumblr theme?
For the rules, maybe not to wear high heels, flashy colours or very big bows?

>>8606373
For now yeah, I'm only on my tablet at the minute and my laptop is a piece of shit. I'll start having a look for some nicer themes when I'm at work next week.

I forgot about heels, thanks!

>>8606400
I think you should make a note about the difference of heels. Heeled loafers are fine, stilettos (for example) are not.

>>8606400
>Length needs to be just above the knee, any shorter than this and you loose the seifuku modesty.
How short is just above the knee? What about the girls in
>>8601792
>>8595579
>>8594255
>>8594242
>>8594156
Isn't that length okay?

>>8606585
Can do!

>>8606604
I can expand on that, thanks guys!

If anyone has any dump folders I can start queuing on the Tumblr that would be awesome, I don't have much saved but I'll start scouring the nanchatte tag and see what I can find.

Just found this in the seifuku tag and it is the cutest thing ever but I think it's too costumey?

What do you guys think?

>>8606740
Definitely. It looks like a cosplay - especially paired with those shoes. Not ugly but certainly not nanchatte.

>>8601931
I really like this

>>8606740 Its seems like both. Nanchatte is just your idealized uniform ,the scalloped jacket and ruffled socks seem cosplay-like.However cosplay uniforms are usually idealized as well. Nanchatte (specifically the western take on it) blends in with standard clothes pretty well.

Most Here probably have seen this too.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F-4mi__WWY

>>8606363
Please edit the skirt lenght thing, or add a paragraph in the begginer's guide about kogal and gyaru fashion. It's not mandatory in the fashion for the skirts to be worn just above the knee, kogal wear them even shorter, as do other girls because they feel it makes their legs look longer. The only thing that is a big no-no in terms of modesty is cleavage showing.

Also about the sneakers, if you're going for a sporty coord it CAN be done right and still look nanchatte. Pic related.

>>8607451
Very much this

>>8606677
I don't know how much is in the nanchatte tag, but there's loads on gyaru blogs.
>http://seifukulife.tumblr.com/

>>8597343
In my (novice) opinion I think it looks cute and simple, but does look more 'inspired-by' than actual nanchatte

Pic related is my first two attempts at the style using the same skirt. I don't like how my skirt only fits at my waist since it's either too much skirt or too much shirt showing but idk... Concrit very welcome, please let me know if I'm doing okay or just one big hot mess

Also for veterans - how do you deal with cold/gross/public seats when your skirt/safety shorts are too short to sit on? (while wearing socks)

>>8607695

I'd lose the military shirt on the left. The pockets are too much and clashes with the bow imo. Like there's too much going on up there.

What about tucking only one side of the baggier blouse in so a piece of it peeks out over the skirt? Or getting a sweater vest like a lot of the looks posted, which would cover up some skirt.

I put my jacket/sweater on the seat to sit on sometimes.

>>8594258
Anyone know where this skirt's from? I love this color.

>>8607933
It's from the Conomi style book

>>8607896
Ahh, I didn't even notice the the pocket situation but I see what you mean. Thanks for the vest suggestion, I actually have one but was afraid of being too OTT my first time - I'll try it next time!

>>8607695
I had the exact feeling you had when I first got my stuff, the "too much skirt" feeling. Just hide it with a vest/cardigan. If you're worried about the heat just get a short sleeve shirt and wear it with the vest. It will look way cuter.

JCrew always has them on sale

Apologies for potato-quality photos, in desperate need of a new phone, but my gyaru comm is having a little kogal style challenge and I threw these together with 80% what I already owned and 20% high street buys, and I was wondering if I could get some concrit. I think a baggier jumper for the right outfit and a matching ribbon would help massively and I'm planning on getting a proper set instead of the Catholic school girl red tartan. I'm hoping though for a first attempt this isn't too terrible.

Hellooo Eurofag as well. I found these in Deichmann and they're comfy as heck. Idk if you got Deichmann or no in Spain, but I wanted to tell ya anyway. I'm from Scandinavia! Sry for unflattering pic

Anybody remembers who made those "hi-tech" thigh highs? I remember a site, both in japanese and english explaining a few features, like that they don't fall down and maintaint consistent colour even when stretched but I can't recall the name.

>>8609977
Love it!

>>8607451
I'll sort this soon, I've been away, thanks for the feedback!

I've gotten really into nanchatte lately! However, I'm an athlete, and have really muscular large legs. I'm trying to lose weight so I look like less of a tree, but does anyone have any styles that would look good with larger legs? I love the loose cardigan look, but it just makes me look fat when you can only see my legs.

>>8613066
Thigh highs, a bit longer skirt + cardigan tied to the waist?

>>8609977
I like it! If anything maybe some slightly baggier socks? It looks really cute, I love the hair!

>>8609977
Cute hair anon. Nope they don't look terrible. And yes a baggier jumper would be adorable. I don't know about the shoes can't really see em.

Cute cute cute

Any sources for long sleeved cardigans for tall people? Japanese ones always end being too short at the sleeves for me.

I'm 23. How do I avoid looking too childish?

>>8615190
How tall are you? The cardigans I've ordered from Aliexpress have pretty long sleeves imo...

>>8616265
>wear a "pussy bow" instead
>stay away from bright and pastel colors, go for neutrals
>wear tights instead of knee socks
>wear a blazer

Does anyone know if there's anywhere that sells the classic sailor type outfit for someone who's a size 18? I know I'm a landwhale but I want to feel cute for once in my life.

>>8616492
thank you! <3

I kinda feel stupid (I'm also really new to this style) but I'm having trouble finding those cute cardigans Japanese girls wear with their uniforms. Everytime I go look for them in normal stores the cardigans are either too tight and short or are so long that it makes my skirt look weird.
Any suggestions for shops or websites where I could get these fairly cheap?

>>8617490
Go to Aliexpress or eBay and search for "Uniform cardigan". There are several with good reviews. Those are the ones you want, they're thick, heavy, and baggy and long, just make sure you get the right size. I'm 5'5 and I wear a S irl so I get the asian size up - M.

You can also order from Taobao if you're thinking of making a big order.

>>8616492
P-pussy bow?!

>>8597343
I think this would look cute with brown shoes and grey socks. Try untucking the blouse for a more authentic feel--it seems like most nanchatte stuff has untucked blouses.

Googled Gothic school uniform for some inspo and this came up.

Oh dear.

>>8621137
Terrifying.

But to be fair, trying to do "gothic" nanchatte would be kinda hard to keep in style and avoid being too tumblr-core..
I guess if you really want to do it you should just go with a "normal" nanchatte co-ord that is worn loosely, with a tie, and put emphasis on acessories.

Like a punky collar, lots of rings, and such. I'll try and find some examples but I mean something like pic related.

>>8621187
Yeah I know, I suppose black jumpers with shirts is 'in' right now. I do already have a collar. I guess emphasis on items easily hidden but on show, like students do at school. Thanks Anon.

>>8621137
anything that looks black and old-fashioned with a longish skirt could work i think.

Lucy Pop seems to ship overseas. What other brands are like this? I don't want to have to use a shopping service. Or, anyone have good resources for girls in the US? I'd buy domestic too. Thanks!

>>8616492
5'8" but I always have problems with long sleeves being to short, even at western brands.

>>8611292
bump because I'm curious too

>>8593448
Anon!!! How would you say the pink one's quality is? I've been eyeing it for ages!

I really love these kinds of school uniforms however i am 6 foot tall and i can't seem to find stuff that has long enough sleeves.

Any ideas on what i could do? I already have plenty of summer uniforms.

>>8629994
cut your hands off and you'll be fine

>>8630282
If only something like this was actually an option.

It's so fucking shitty being tall, all these cute outfits i want but i will never be able to wear them properly...

someone sell me their old outfit :0

>>8630282
>>8630284
>>8630656
What's with all the shit posting all of a sudden?

>>8630537>>8629994

at least being tall comes with longer legs/torso

you can rock a lot of western fashion that includes jean shorts/croptops/any popular clothing item because tall people appear thinner

not only that, but it would also be easy for you to get a modeling job (granted you look white and don't have a horseface)

>>8631475
So many clothes are made with tall people in mind too
Like I'm 5'3-4", I'm not even THAT short, but you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a short coat that doesn't reach down to my knees

Newfag question, but do you need a shopping service to order from Conomi?

>>8631475
What are you even talking about? Being tall and looking 'white' doesn't auto guarantee model jobs.

>>8631475
That's unfortunate because i really don't care much for western fashion.

>>8631515
not if you buy Conomi from CDJapan!

>>8629836
They're both from Bodyline and they're both good quality! I think they'll wear out fast though, the back and side part, which is close to my messenger bag, gets a bit scuffed. But for the price you pay for them they're great, honestly. And they have POCKETS.

>>8631570
It doesn't, but it does make it easier than if you weren't white and tall.

>A+ reading comprehension bro

>>8632681
Actually no, depends on the modelling industry, fashion type, country etc.
Also how is that statement relevant to >>8630537 wanting to fit into nanchatte. This is a nanchatte thread, maybe you should be more concerned about your own reading comprehension, 'bro'.

>>8632769
The anon I originally responded to is likely from an english speaking country, where being tall, thin, and pale are traits that make it easier to be a model. Keep championing your bullshit "even though most models in english speaking countries are white because they fufill the beauty standard, i'm gonna ignore that and pretend that they don't have an advantage in the field," though.

You don't get to harp on me about OT when >>8631570 started the OT conversation train, that's hipocrite as fuck.

One anon complained about her height and how it causes trouble for her in jfashion, so I tried to list some positives of being tall when other anon got butthurt because she couldn't properly read, follow the conversation.

>>8632784
All that rage is pointless anyway as all anon wants is to be small and cute and fit into Japanese nanchatte. Not a lanky pasty model in westerner normalfag shit.

As it starts to get colder, would it be alright to wear stockings/pantyhose with loose socks as well? Or would that look too weird?

>>8633047
You can wear those thermal, nude party hose. It's popular in China to do that in colder seasons.

Can someone post school bag inspiration? Preferably the black leather type or cute backpacks that fit nanchatte.

>>8628162
Thanks Anon, that looks pretty fucking cute... But isn't that the star of David? I suppose a cute patch could cover it.

>>8636436
It's a hexagram, used in the occult for centuries. I'm assuming this design is going for a gothic/occult theme, Asian countries like Japan have no hyper sensitivity regarding religious symbols like America.
